    It might be worth sticking a tenner on Pakistan to win. England have crossed the line from positive to reckless and could well get skittled here. I understand the new approach and it is very exciting but the first day showed you can score plenty of runs without slogging.

  4. Lyon takes six as Australia beat gutsy West Indies

    Over in Perth, Nathan Lyon took six wickets as Australia beat a dogged West Indies by 164 runs in the first Test.

    Set a record 498 to win, the tourists began the final day on 192-3 needing a further 306 for victory.

    But Lyon removed Kyle Mayers for 10 and bowled Kraigg Brathwaite, who resumed on 101, for 110 in the first 10 overs.

    Roston Chase and Alzarri Joseph battled for an eighth-wicket stand of 82 before spinner Travis Head bowled Joseph for 43, allowing Lyon to seal victory.

    The off-spinner had Chase caught at deep square leg for 55, sealing his 21st Test five-wicket haul, and bowled number 11 Roston Chase for a duck a ball later to finish with 6-128 in 42.5 overs.

    West Indies were all out for 333 in 110.5 overs.

  5. Thanks Tom. Morning all.

    How are we?

  6. Right, it's time for me to take break as well.

    Ben Barrett: After Ben DUCKett's duck, apart from a Michael AtherTON century, has any other Test-match player had their cricketing 'achievements' in their name?

  8. The state of play

    So, where are we?

    Pakistan, beginning on 499-7, added 80 runs to their overnight score for the loss of their final three wickets.

    Will Jacks took all three to end with figures of 6-161, with Pakistan all out for 579 to trail by 78.

    England then started typically positively in the hunt for quick runs, but have lost Ben Duckett for a golden duck and Ollie Pope for 15 to reach 46-2 at the break.

  9. Lunch - Eng 46-2

    Zak Crawley and Joe Root share a couple of singles to bring England up to 46-2 at lunch.

    The lead is 124.

  10. Eng 44-2

    What happened there?

    It was a slower ball from Naseem Shah that turns into a slow full toss. It deceives Zak Crawley who lobs the ball tantalisingly towards mid-off, but it just goes over the diving fielder and England run two.

    Crawley has a big smile on his face. He knows he got away with one there.

  11. Eng 41-2

    Zak Crawley and Joe Root have a chat at the end of that over. I'm guessing they will be telling each other to just keep on attacking.

    We will squeeze in one more over before lunch.

    Mohammad Ali bounced him and Pope got a top edge. If England go too hard they could get all out. Pope has had a good game so far but Ali has got him.

  13. Joe Root, the only member of England's top order not to score a century in the first innings, heads out into the middle.

    That is out though!

    Mohammad Ali bangs one in short, Ollie Pope goes for the pull and perfectly picks out Naseem Shah at deep backward square.

    That would've been a brilliant return catch if he had taken that.

  16. dropped catch

    Crawley dropped on 18

    Put down by Naseem Shah!

    It is a leading edge from Zak Crawley but the bowler cannot claim the catch diving one-handed to his left.

  17. Eng 34-1

    This outfield is so quick. Zak Crawley rolls one off his hips and the ball just flies backward of square for four.

    The next delivery is short and Crawley pulls through mid-wicket for another boundary.

  18. Vic Marks
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    England are scoring around four runs an over. In the first innings it was six runs an over. They'll want to go faster than that.

  19. Very good.
